Parker 6FEL8N-316 Compression Female Elbow 1/2-14 Npt Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 6FEL8N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube female elbow designed to create a 90-degree transition between a compression tube connection and a female NPT threaded port. Built from 316 stainless steel, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 6600 psi and an operating temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F. The 1/2-14 NPT thread size mates to standard female pipe thread ports. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians working on high-pressure fluid or gas systems where corrosion resistance and leak-free performance are required.

This fitting is suited for industrial, commercial, and instrumentation applications where a directional change is needed between a compression tube line and a female NPT threaded component. Typical install scenarios include process piping, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, chemical handling lines, and cryogenic service given the fitting's rated minimum temperature of -425 degrees F. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive media environments and sanitary or high-purity systems.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in aggressive media
• Maximum working pressure of 6600 psi for demanding high-pressure applications
• Wide temperature range: -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F including cryogenic service
• 1/2-14 NPT thread standard for compatibility with standard female pipe thread ports
• Compression x FNPT end connections for secure, reliable tube-to-pipe transitions
• 90-degree female elbow geometry for directional routing in tight or confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube fitting for use with compatible compression tube sizes on systems with 1/2-14 NPT female threaded ports across industrial, instrumentation, and process piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician. Shut down and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fittings. Use appropriate tube preparation tools to ensure a clean, square tube cut before seating the ferrule. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for pressure piping as relevant to the system classification.
